Paneling Tools for Grasshopper
1. Before you start this course
1.1 Before you start this course, there are few things you should keep in mind... (2:38)
1.2 Technical Support and a note from Rajaa Issa
1.3 Install PT = Paneling Tools using the new Package Manager in Rhino 7 (2:28)
1.4 Install the new Sunglasses plugin (5:02)
2. Overview of the elements in PT
2.1 Two steps, 1) Create a grid and 2) Populate the grid
2.2 Let us take a look at step #1: How to create a Planar Grid (4:23)
2.3 Let us take a look at step #2: Populate the Planar Grid (Morph 2D) (4:03)
2.4 The conclusion is: "Only two steps to follow..." (5:46)
3. Create Paneling Patterns or Mapping Geometry to a Rectangular Grid
3.1 There are three main methods to panel
3.1 ... (a) Connect grid points to create edges, surfaces, or mesh faces of the intended pattern (Panel Connections) (3:51)
3.1 ... (b) Morph a unit module and distribute it over unit paneling grid (Morph 2D) (1:25)
3.1 ... (c) Morph a unit module in a variable way along the grid, depending on design constraints (Morph 2D Mean) (5:03)
3.2 The world is not flat after all... (Surface Domain Number) (3:46)
3.3 A simple quiz

6.8 The ptSrfDis component attempts to divide a surface by equal distances. (3:46)
6.9 The ptSrfDomChord calculates distance between points is set to the 3D direct distance. (3:12)
6.10 The ptComposeNum component helps create grids from scratch. (3:44)
6.11 ptCompose, Its takes a list of points and two integer lists to define the (i.j) location of each point in the grid and outputs the grid. (7:03)
6.12 ptPolar2D component creates polar planar grids. (4:12)
